More specifically, he's attached to Connor Bedard's hip.
The budding superstar is enjoying an excellent start to the campaign. Bedard has 10 goals and 26 points through the first 17 games of the campaign.
Playing alongside somebody as talented as Bedard is always a boost to your chances of notching a point.
Additionally, the matchup is right for Burakovsky to deliver.
Toronto is struggling mightily to keep the puck out of its net. The Maple Leafs are tied for ceding the most goals per game in the league (3.83).
Bet on a stellar performance from Burakovsky.
Key stat: Burakovsky has 10 points in his last seven games.
Best NHL prop picks
Nick Robertson to score 1+ points (+110): It used to be difficult for Robertson to earn opportunities in Toronto's stacked offence.
Not anymore.
Mitch Marner is gone, and Auston Matthews is out with an injury. The Maple Leafs are desperate for any signs of offence, and Robertson is one of the few forwards delivering.
The shifty forward has eight points in his last eight games, tying for fourth among all Maple Leafs players during this stretch.
-> Wager on Robertson to contribute for the Maple Leafs
Robertson is averaging 15:37 in ice time during this stretch, which is significantly higher than his usage from the first nine games (12:34).
Backing Robertson seems like a wise idea with his deployment on the rise.
